    Hi All

    my first post here, this isnt total spam so bare with me.

    Im a boxing fan and im a projectionist at a cinema, and im trying to convince my work to show the bigger fights via satelite in the auditoruim.

    Is this something you guys would pay to see? even if its the usual 4am thing.

    I just think a group of likeminded boxing fans filling a cinema would be pretty awesome.

    BrotherDaniel.

    They do this in America and apparently it seems to work cos they ain't binned it yet.

    I'm sure for the big fights it'd be fun. Head down with some mates and enjoy the fights on a cinema screen. As long as you don't get a bunch of knobheads turning up.

    They used to do it here until Sky/ late night TV took off. It used to work for the MASSIVE fights not so much for even the bigish fights.

    We have decent security and there is a police station 2 minute walk away, we should be ok.

    If this was around for Haye's HW run I'd imagine it would have been successful. Those fights really crossed over and did good PPV business.

    Atm maybe Khan and Froch fights would get a decent audience. Internationally only fight that'd sell is Mayweather/Pacquiao (if it ever happens!).

    Hah mate, I have the misfortune (at the moment) to be a Red.

    Ishy: Nah mate, not too many Holmes-Cooneys or Leonard-Haglers about these days.

    Does £10 a ticket sound about right?
